The House At Riverton/Kate Morton/473 pgs.

This is our January book club title, and as such, not one I was looking forward to reading; I envisioned another Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca. I couldn't have been more wrong. It started out slowly, but the more I got into it, the more intriguing I found it. It's considered an "English country house romance and mystery" novel. Grace Bradley, now in her nineties, is the narrator of the story. She was a young girl when she began working as a servant at Riverton House. This is where her life becomes involved with Hannah and Emmeline Hartford. There are family secrets, love affairs, etc., during the early 20th century. It's a very good read.
